Klaster_1's Dengfu M06 build This is my first 29er and full suspension bike, before that I was riding a meager Merida Matts TFS-100 2011. Not the first chinese frame, though.

Build list. Main goal was to reuse most of components from Merida for now and upgrade some parts later. I also wanted to try wider internal rims and not to save any money on wheels, since these are pain in the ass to rebuild (can't reuse spokes or rims, low local resale chance). The target weight is sub 10kg, which I failed to achieve  :'(

It will take awhile to complete the build, some parts are still en route or not shipped/ordered. I'd especially appreciate your help with shock bushings.

So, the frame. The price was 660USD for frame, 15USD for headset and 185USD for shipment/fees. 845USD in total.










Some notes:
  • Bottom bracket insides look different from this image. One of faces has a tiny bit of extra material, you can see it on pic 6.
  • Front shock pivot bolt was tough to extract. I had to keep the male bolt in place while unscrewing the female one. Front shock pivot inserts look kinda rought.
  • Even without pivot bolts weight doesn't fit into claimed 1900±45g. It's 2018g without bolts for 19.5" size.
  • Without shock arm stroke is about 8.5cm. How do I measure correct stroke? Am I supposed to do that with shock sans air, completely installed with bushings?
  • First attempt to measure shock mount points gave ~21.3mm for front and ~21.6-21.8 for rear. I'll try to measure again later.
  • Tire clearance at widest points, without actual tire: top – 81mm, bottom – 75mm.
  • There are two integrated liners inside made from CF. One of them ends at seat tube bend, I think you can route a dropper seatpost remote housing through it. The other tube exits in front of the shock underneath the top tube.

And a bit about wheels:



Considering I'm not that heavy at about 65kg and no rough trails, I hope 28 spokes will be more than enough. The rims are interesting, Carbonfan Bicycle lists these as designed for AM use. I've contacted them about making a pair at lower range of claimed 400±15g, which they agreed to. Both rims turned out at ~375g. Complete wheelset weights 1280g. With narrower rims you could easily do a sub-1200g combo.

Mickes Dengfu M06 build Hi,
I've just completed the build of my first full suspension bike: The Dengfu M06. And this is my first build thread!
(This is actually my second build: A few years ago I built myself a really great HT 29:er, the "Xmiplay IP-106", a great bike (and frame).)

Anyway, let's get to it!

Some numbers and parts:

Frame size: 17.5
Color: Pantone 431c, painted by Dengfu.
Fork: Fox Float 32 w. remote
Shock: Manitou McLeod
Gears: 11 sp Shimano XT, w. XTR shifter
Crank: XT single, 170mm, XTR Bottom Bracket
Chainring: AB Oval 34T 32T
Dropper: Brand-X ascend
Wheelset: (Used) Mavic CrossMax SLR. Stiff, light.
Tyres: (Used) RR on the back, NN in front.
Handlebar: Dengfu flat bar, with Dengfu 80mm stem

I ordered the frame February 18, and it shipped (after painting) Mars 2.
The frame arrived (I live in Sweden) just a few days later (!), mars 7. Quick!




Also, the next days the rest of the parts needed for the build showed up! (I took some parts from the old bike, and the fork I bought six months ago!)


Time for some assembling...

Have you built on of these before?
No. But many of that brand.

I don't see a seat tube diameter mentioned, I'd like to fit a dropper post. Is it a boost frame??
Probably boost, and didn't check the seat tube diameter yet  :(
We'll need to wait when they open the shop again to know this.
